Measure the PTO shaft and cut to the dimension
shown – the finished length of the PTO shaft should
be 75mm (3”) less than the measured distance ‘
A ’ -
between tractor shaft and gearbox stub shaft – to
enable fitting.
NOTE: For subsequent use with different tractors
measure again, there must be a minimum shaft
overlap of 150mm (6”).

Fit the P.T.O shaft.

Ensure the shaft is correctly fitted to the correct splines - at both ends.

Fit the anti-spin chains of P.T.O guard to a rigid non-turning assembly.

Remove both stand legs - one on sub-frame and one on tank.
The sub-frame mounted stand leg is to be stored where and as indicated below.

The plate stand at outer face of tank, once removed - should be inverted and located
back onto the same mounting pins and secured by same 7/16” lynch pins.

Tank stand leg can be used as a warning triangle to warn traffic etc. near the worksite
(use in the position shown in left hand drawing)

The mesh safety screens should now be cut and fitted. They are designed to be fitted to
the cutting head side of tractor cab (i.e. for left-hand cut machines to left-hand side of
cab). Bolts, nuts and washers are supplied for fixing purposes.
All glass screens on the relevant side of cab must be protected.

Fix valve control handles into position:-

Control levers are supplied bolted together as a unit complete with a support leg to slot
into a bracket supplied for fitting to the tractor.

Depending on model there may be 4, 5 or even only one controller in the set. The
locating bracket should be positioned on the inner wing face of the tractor cab in a
suitable position for easy operation. Bolts, nuts and washers are supplied for fixing.

It is suggested that for four and five bank controller sets the bracket is fitted to the left-
hand wing for left-hand cut machines and right-hand wing for right- hand cut machines.

In the case of single-bank controllers, it is suggested that the bracket is fitted to the
opposite side for the control of the cutting direction and that the joystick mounting
bracket is fitted to the cutting side (both brackets are however the same). Once the
bracket is fitted to the cab side the controller unit can be lowered into the brackets slot
and secured by tightening screw 'X' (clockwise).

Drawing shows a bank of five controllers to be fitted to a support leg and to be fitted to
a locating bracket to be fitted to the inner wing for left-hand cut machines.
